Fluminense Preview – Can Fluminense break into top six?
A decent looking three-match unbeaten run in Serie A has given Saturday’s hosts, Fluminense, plenty of reasons to be confident ahead of this encounter against lowly Gremio following wins over Flamengo and Sport Recife, along with picking up a point in a draw with Ceara.
These recent results have helped lift Fluminense up into 7th place and level on points with 6th placed Bahia and the top six in Serie A so another three points at Gremio’s expense could see the hosts making a challenge for a place in next season’s Copa Libertadores qualifiers.
Fluminense have lost just twice so far in this season’s Brazilian top flight campaign while the bigger picture at home shows that Fluminense have lost just once in their previous 10 matches, keeping a total of eight clean sheets into the bargain.
Gremio Preview – Can Gremio get off the mark?
Gremio sit bottom of Serie A and are still without a win in this season’s Brazilian top flight campaign with all three of their points coming in draws with Santos, Fortaleza and Internacional, all of which were gained on home turf at their Arena do Grêmio.
However, six defeats within their nine matches played to date this term has spelled trouble for the visitors, especially away from home where they’ve lost their last five matches on the trot on their travels.
Defeats at Bragantino, Ceara, Sport Recife, Juventude and Palmeiras have been bad enough but Gremio have also failed to score in four of these five games as well.
